Baume & Mercier 8723

Collection: RivieraGender: Men

The Baume & Mercier 8723 is a masculine flavored timepiece that would be an ideal wrist accessory for those who are going for an elegant looking sporty watch. Boasting superior Swiss construction that is watertight to 200 meters, the luxury watch is presented in a robust stainless steel case that houses a bold Black dial and topped with ion-plated rotary bezel, on a stylish Black vulcanized rubber bracelet.

Just like the rest of its variants, this gent’s XL watch features all the Riviera’s signature design elements such as a dodecagonal case’s design that represent the 12 hours of the day and night, SuperLuminova featured steel hands and indexes for night vision support, robust water resistance that allowing you to keep wearing it while diving at your favorite spot, and a reliable Swiss chronograph automatic movement for precise timekeeping. The watch is solid and sturdy, and despite of having a rubber bracelet, it does surprisingly elegant enough to be paired with formal attires alike.

This BM’s ref. MOA08723 sporty timepiece’s dodecagonal case has a masculine diameter of 43 mm diameter, and it is fairly thin for a mechanical chronograph watch at about 15 mm thick. Its Black rubber bracelet that offers a decent counter balance for the case’s weight is thick and supple, measures around 21 mm wide, and it comes equipped with a deployant double folding clasp with push button safety for an extra security measures.

Unlike the Riviera XXL Magnum, this watch has a solid caseback. At its right hand side, there are steel screw-down crown with PHI logo and two pushers for the chronograph functions. And atop the case, lays an eye-catching uni-directional rotating bezel that is made of stainless steel with Black ion-plating. It features 60-minute diving scale with a single SuperLuminova index at twelve, and has a handy tachymeter scale at its inner side.

Encased within, is a big Black dial that is shielded with a scratch resistant sapphire that is enhanced with anti-reflective coating for an improved visibility. On the dial, there are silver-tone metal skeletonized hour and solid minute hands with SuperLuminova, a slim central sweep seconds hand, luminescent indexes, three subsidiary with White markers, date window at the six o’clock position, and painted White minute markers along the periphery. Its small seconds subsidiary at nine features SuperLuminova filled small dauphine hands, meanwhile, the other two; 30-minute counter at three and 12-hour counter at six feature silver tone metal hands.

Inside, Baume et Mercier 8723 employs the calibre ETA Valjoux 7750, a Swiss made mechanical chronograph automatic movement that is renowned for its precision and snappy response, and further personalized and refined by the watchmaker to comply with their own specs. Despite of non-exclusive and also non-Chronometer grade, the movement is fairly rugged to flawlessly serve its purposes, and in terms of accuracy, it does quite a pleasure as well. This "fairly loud" self winding 25 jewels movement beats at 28,800 alterations per hour, and under full wind, it provides around 42 hours of power reserve.

This men’s B&M Riviera XXL Automatic Chronograph timepiece’s original manufacturer suggested retail price is $3,990.00, which is quite reasonable for a such premium watch with these kind of quality offerings. But still, this model is not a new release so that you should be able to get it for less than its MSRP for this time being.
